During the ninth month of pregnancy, it is common for pregnant women to experience fewer movements from their baby. This can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, as the baby grows and occupies more space in the womb, they may have less room to move around freely. Additionally, towards the end of pregnancy, the baby's growth rate slows down, resulting in reduced activity levels. Furthermore, as the due date approaches, the baby may assume a head-down position in preparation for birth, which can limit their movement. However, it is important to note that every pregnancy is unique and if you have concerns about your baby's movements or notice a significant decrease in activity, it is crucial to consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and reassurance.
